If a necron unit is affected by lash of submission and is killed by the shooting attacks from the rest of the unit the lashing psyker is attached to, where do they make their ever-living rolls from?

This came up in a game at adepticon, and I talked to the judge and my opponent and brainstormed how it should be resolved. We decided that the models should be moved before they die. The reason we did this is because lash has three parts (to hit, 2d6 movement, and the pinning test) and normal shooting has 3 parts (to hit, to wound, and armor saves). For simplicity's sake, we assumed that the three different parts each happen at the same time as their parallel. That is to say both rolls to hit are simultaneous, rolls to wound and the 2d6 movement for lash are simultaneous, and the armor saves for the affected unit, as well as their pinning test, is last.

I believe that the RaW might say something else, but I can't be sure. If they don't, does Dakka think that the way we chose to resolve it is the best way?

Thanks,

Well damn.

Techincally, the movement part of lash is the result of the power, and since it happens at the same time yet you take a pinning test at the end of the I'll say you die after the move. Just guessing here.

You die after the move. The move is a PSA so happens simultaneously with the shooting.

Agreed with above.

Because they died from the same unit that the lash came from those are considered to have happened at the same time. he comes back from the point he died.

I think in the We'll Be back, or ever living or whatever its called now they have some wiggle room to the tune of 3 or so inches that they can come back from.

I agree that your model dies where the lash brought him, but remember that EL allows you to ressurect 3" away from where you dies(but must be 1" away from an enemy model)
